CHICAGO. NAV 1S.-The prevailing con-
ditions to-day at the opening were nearly
the same rs yesterday. Cables were firm
and reported an upward tendency in wheat
| in Liverpool. The crowds were undecided
aud opening prices were higher than the
close Of yesterday. June prices started at
soc, but majority of the crowd were dis
posed to sell. Prices iluctuated rapidly in
the first few minutes, but kept on down
inside of Soc for June, however it was not
allowed to go below SSlc. Half an hour
after the session opened few of the bold
est traders in the pit, who had got tired OF
seeinglJune hang at SSlc and above, ap.
parently for no reason whatever started in
to find where the bottom of the market
really was. They commenced Offering
June wheat at an eighth or quarter below
the market. When they started June was
at SSlc, and when they stopped the market
was at 67sasSc, finally closing at Sc.
